Got another one dude. My cousin is a gay rights dude or whatever. He went to the white house to meet him and all. When he gets there, Obama remarks on his shoes. "Those are the best sneakers I've seen in the White House." I think thats what he said to him. He hasn't done anything, with the gay rights issues in this country. Do you think you that Obama is any different from the rest of the uptight politicans on the hill, or is he holding out on them for his own career benifits? Yo man my little cousin walks down the road in TN with his partner and he has right wingers throwing rocks at them. I mean I'm all up for getting stoned but when did that start involving rocks, shit man I have to pick up a bible to get a referance on when it was last used(and that burns my hands!). This isn't the bloody stone age, well in different context you could call it that. I'll still pack a bowel for every show. Take it easy man.

Alright Bill I got a question. The read something, somewhere that the FBI precieves the "religion" of scientology as a cult or threat. Do you think that freedom of religion comes into play when your talking about an organization created to make money, by a FICTION WRITER. I'm a fiction writer, and I think that these people are mentally ill. I'm 17 dude, and I know y'all will probably ignore this but I want to know why this country can tolerate such blantent lack of common sence.

The current method used to pass legesation by not allowing time for the senate and congress to read the Bill is short sited and sad. Why doesent the Obama administration write out a will thought out health care plan that covers all the bases and then sell it to America and the 60 democrats ?

I had not heard of the flight 93 landing, but looking at debris field - there was nothing left as Jeffg said. just in the pentagon there were no 6? ton engines or plane debris nothing! and the size of hole etc...,
it has me convinced it was a very controlled crash of a missile or other object that could do exacting damage while not making a big mess there. sort of like a cellulose missile.
I understand your point about the structural features in the designs of the WTC twin towers. But I have listened to the engineers talk about the fuel and heat, impact ... in relation to what happening; and i am technically on the side of what regular folks will call "Conspiracy Therory"
I do not believe it pancaked via the reasons They want us to believe and certainly the mass pancake would create sound waves and explosion type sounds- so I do see what your saying.
I am not in so deep, as to stand on a box and explain myself so well. I just know it was one big FUND RAISER and it converted the American culture from a sleeping consumer into Nationalistic/Patriotic sheeple over night. in the few days after the event, I saw the iconic "Firemans Boot" being held out for cash to be dropped in, and knew it was a scam to get the untapped cash of America. They used the Firefighters deaths to suck in everyone. We love Firemen/women they put their lives on the line in a way, most of us can not understand and to an extent more so than cops who have kevlar vests and heavy fire power against human criminals
So my comments reference the 'BOOTS' has nothing to do with the firemen/cops who died that day. it was the Conspiracy "THE BIG: THEY" created that day, and awakened the sleeping giant.. I don't think Bush taking so many vacations is any coincidence... he is part of the game. ("My Pet Goat" should be a national relic)
And if you do not think or understand after the 2000 election that voting is not rigged or controlled via Electronic machines; then i can't help you.
My vote never counted here(for Prez) in KS anyway; but now we all have electronic machines and no paper trail to back up.
did i still avoid any parts of question? I have not checked out the flight 93 landing issue.
but if there was a plane that crashed inPA - how did the parts disappear so fast before the public 1st responders could get to site? if it was an actual full sized jet?

I have seen the raptor at an air show in 2008 and it was amazing to see it perform. This plane is more advanced then any plane in the world.

I had seen a show on the Raptor and it seemed to be an amazing plane! What happens to it in the rain that it can not fly in the rain?

Bill: I hope you will take one or more of my questions.
1. now that there have been plenty of bailouts and stimulus packages and unemployment has gone up, are you disappointed by the bias in the news and the Obama Administration that "all economists from left to right" agreed we had to spend this money?
2. are you disappointed that people who say that deregulation was not the cause of our crisis, such as John Stossel and Ron Paul, have not gotten as much air time as people who say it is?
3. are you disappointed that this administration has used the term "everyone agrees" and the news media outlets to justify economic plans when plenty of economists don't agree government intervention is right, to justify strict environmental rules when not all scientists agree with the mainstream consensus of global warming, or even the war in Afghanistan, which not everyone agrees, "this is a different war than Iraq."
4. are you disappointed that people who panic in the news over global warming, and the economy, get far more time in the Mainstream Media than people who say there is no reason to panic?

Hey Bill!
I have one quote you might like.
Religious people go to church so they won't go to hell, spiritual people have already been there.

Ask the panel why they think that American Politicians are so close-minded, in the sense that their agendas only address national issues. Many Republican party members are targeting Obama to cripple his administration's public support so that in 2012 the Republicans can win an election.
Shouldn't they be concerned with bigger things? Like if we screw over the government so much, that when the shit hits the fan in places like Iraq, Afghanistan or North Korea, our government will be too caught up in domestic affairs and trying to keep Obama's approval ratings up, that we won't be able to defend ourselves? Or even address the problem, like if North Korea starts shooting off more missiles?
I mean why is it that political victories are won more by making the other side look bad, rather than doing something to actually help the country?

I am a widow of a 46 year old Marine who died of ery aggressive Prostate Cancer, that the VA has rejected for benefits. They did not offer his Chemo. It turns out, four years after his death, that the Marine Corps is now admitting to poisoning over a million vets and their families with the worst toxic water known to mankind at Camp LeJeune, NC. It is now the biggest Superfund cleanup, 100 times worse than the Love Canal. They are currently notifying all those they can reach, to register at www.marine.mil at the Judge Advocate General's Office , or at www.tftptf.com. My question is, now that they have killed my husband, and are admitting to it, what are they going to do for those of us survivors left behind? Are they going to do anything to help us out of foreclosure? Are they going to pay the funeral bills and bury my husband since I have his ashes and could not afford to bury him after my rejection letter for a Plot allowance? Is this how the Government plans on handling HEALTH CARE? By the way... the Marine Corps knew about this since 1978. They admitted it goes back to 1957! WHy are they just now willing to admit to this? Can you get this out there Bill? Please see Tampabayonline.com "Poisoned PAtriots" in Congressional hearings and mandates, and the Senate Armed Services Committee annoucements by Sen Hagen and Senator Burr.
Thank you very much, as a widow and mother of two girls left behind, can you please get this out there? If I had known about it in 1999 when they had already had hearings on this cover-up, my husband could have had a prostatectomy and still be alive today, please help save some lives and get this news out there Bill. PLEASE????????

synapticviolati- WOW In haven't heard the theory of controlled elections in years. I just couldn't figure out why they wanted Obama because of his HUGE government agenda. When you look at the presidents we've had damn Bush 43 nice guy in way over his head(sorry) Clinton charismatic horndog. Bush 41 blah Reagan it was said that briefing him for a press conference was like reinventing the wheel Carter-peanut farmer and so forth The WTC- again the buildings were designed with the main support girders around the outside There were about 18 or so floors above the ones that were hit. The intense heat caused the girders to buckle from the huge weight above them. The "explosions" were each floor collapsing from the weight. Explain my questions about flight 93 and the plane that hit the pentagon
